La Conf

La Conf is an unusual conference for Ruby & Rails developers who love food, wine & creating amazing things (and who wouldn't like that?) in the heart of Paris, France. The lineup for the 1st day of La Conf is complete and you can expect to hear great folks like Hampton Catlin (Creator of Haml, Sass, and Wikipedia Mobile), Vitaly Friedman (Smashing Magazine co-founder and editor-in-chief) or Ashe Dryden - Rubyist and Diversity Advocate. Stay tuned with @la_conf & 2014.la-conf.org/ (pssst... a little bird told us you can expect a lot of the accordion music as well).

RedDotRuby

When? June, 26-27th Where? Singapore

RedDotRubyConf is the largest Ruby conference in South East Asia - a two day single-track event that brings together renowned international and local speakers. The aim is to spread the love and joy of the Ruby language and platform in the South East Asia developer community through talks, collaborations and networking. This year expect great guests like Koichi Sasada, Aaron Patterson and Bryan Helmkamp. Check out the event's site and follow @reddotrubyconf to be up-to-date!

EuruCamp

When? August, 1-3rd Where? Berlin, Germany

European ruby camp is coming back to Brandenburg! The event's format slightly differs from the classic conference or camp. Eurucamp wants to encourage speakers to try out something new - either by being on stage for the first time or by trying talks in new areas. To do that - they've open a speaker mentorship program - we keep our fingers crossed for the experiment! With 15-20 regular speaking slots, we can't wait for all the Ruby topics raised! In the meantime, you can follow the folks at @eurucamp.
